"The world of wine is formed by seasons, situations and conditions that are never the same. No amount of experience is ever enough. The important thing is to search, to attempt with determination, humility and a little of patience."

Antonio Fattori, who runs this 25 hectare property, comes from a family of winemakers in Veneto. With over a century of history, the winery has accumulated a solid base for continuing improvement and some expansion. Antonio Fattori and his brother Giovanni took over the family business in the early ’80s.

Prior to then, the estate prospered under the direction of their father and the cellars served as a resource for well-made base wines, which were sold to many of the neighboring properties to be used under varied labels. Antonio made a decision in the early ’90s to produce his own wine with his own label, to begin to place the wines into the international market. The wines are splendid, superbly clean and well made, brimming with fruit and wonderfully balanced acidity. The brothers are extremely modest and humble, allowing their wines to speak for them.
